Bacterial Genetics Flashcards
Who discovered the components of DNA?
Pheobus A.T. levine
The components of DNA accdg to levine.
Phosphates
Five carbon sugars
Nitrogen-containin bases
Rosalind franklin, using x-ray crystallography, discovered that dna is arranged in a _____ structure
HELICAL
DNA means…
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Dna is a single-stranded structure twisted together. T or F
False; double stranded
T or f. DNA isn’t involved with the synthesis of rna
Flase, it is involved in the synthesis of RNA
A single stranded and short, it contains the sugar ribose instead of deoxyribose.
Ribonucleic acid
A process of heredity and varition, it is the starting pt. which all other cellular pathways, functions and structures originate.
Genetics
What are the major aspects in bacterial genetics?
- Structure and organization of genetic materials
- Replication and expression of genetic information
- The mechanisms by which genetic information is changed and exchanged among bacteria
The duplication of chromosomal dna for insertion into daughter cell.
Replication
Process of encoding information in genetic elements
Gene expression
Two process involved in the replication
Transcripting aand trnalation
Who first discovered Dna?
Fredrick miescher, 1869.
